Science
Mechanism of Action
As a silicone, Polysilicone-34 precisely forms a breathable, water-resistant film on the skin's surface. This film acts as a conditioning agent, enhancing skin feel by providing a remarkably smooth, non-tacky, and non-oily finish. Furthermore, it supports skin hydration, can regulate sebum production, impart a velvety after-feel, and optically scatter light to subtly blur the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

Safety Profile
No dedicated safety assessment for Polysilicone-34 has been published by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, the EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), or the FDA. While related polysilicone and dimethicone polymers have undergone review, specific toxicological data for Polysilicone-34 is currently unavailable, thus preventing a comprehensive safety evaluation.
